The Region of Crete has begun to publish weekly bulletins advising on the amount of irrigation needed for different crops, depending on the weather conditions etc. The following link takes one to a master page for the irrigation bulletins: https://www.crete.gov.gr/category/anakoinoseis/enimerosi-agroton/nea-agroton/

From there, clicking on the bulletin with the current date takes one to a page which lists the four different Regional Units, each with a link which will bring up the current bulletin for that area. The samples given below, translated into English, are for Chania in the week ending 3rd June, but are intended as a template for succeeding bulletins, where only the numbers will change.

What is notable is the much larger amounts of water needed for citrus and avocado, than for olives. Given the increasing popularity with farmers of avocados, which are a high-value crop, it is clear that pressures on the irrigation system in Crete are not going to be diminishing, and the need for an overall water plan for the island, which has been much discussed but has yet to make an appearance, will become ever more urgent.
